Jones County gas mix-up resolved

Thursday

A gas station manager said a fuel delivery mix-up is all clear after two state inspections.

TRENTON — A gas station manager said a fuel delivery mix-up is all clear after two state inspections.

Nirmal Adhikry, the manager of the BP gas station on Jones Street in Trenton, said a delivery truck driver installed 40 to 50 gallons of diesel fuel the regular gas pumps last week.

Inspectors tested the gas both Monday and Tuesday to ensure the mistake was cleaned up.

“Everything is fine now,” Adhikry said. “You make mistakes (and) I make mistakes. (The delivery driver) screwed up and we have to pay the price.”

He did not know how many drivers were affected and if the station would refund those drivers. He said if people think they have an issue with their vehicle due to using gas at the BP, he will refer them to the nearby motor company.

Brock Motor Company employees said there was a line of cars waiting to be serviced because of the gas mix-up. Steven Jones, the service manager, did not return a phone call before press time Wednesday.

Adhikry said because he is not the source of distribution, all he can do is take names and phone numbers to email to the fuel company.

“They came and tested it twice now,” he said, “and everything is good to go.”
